Rutiger,
To my knowledge if you want satellite radio (XM or Sirius) integrated into your touch screen it is only available through the dealer. It's actually a factory unit that installs in the car under the carpet in an area that can't be seen. IMO it's worth the money. Keep the headaches away after an aftermarket unit.

Aftermarket systems are not as good, as many use FM modulation that degrades the sound quality, stick with the dealer unit.

Then you have to worry about having someone else install it. Dealerships wil not install parts that are not theirs. They don't want to worry about the liability of your part not working, and them having to warranty it....
